A Glenpool man pleaded guilty Thursday to possessing child pornography that he admitted downloading from the Internet.
Jon Blake Newport, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of a federal indictment that was issued under seal by a Tulsa federal grand jury on April 1.
Newport admitted in his plea agreement that he possessed the illegal material on a laptop computer on June 7, 2010, when he lived in Sapulpa and that he used at least one file-sharing program to obtain it.
In the plea agreement, the prosecution and defense stipulated that Newport possessed 30 images of child pornography.
U.S. District Judge John Dowdell is scheduled to sentence Newport, who is free on bond, on Sept. 5.
Newport's attorney, Rob Nigh, estimated that his client could be facing three to four years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. However, he said motions could be filed on Newport's behalf asking the court to impose a below-guidelines sentence.
